DELETE LINK: Press F8 to select/deselect the DELETE LINK mode. Selecting this function will
allow you to link the events that are positioned at the two ends of the deleted interval, so that
you will not have a “hole” in the deleted interval. Press F10 to execute the deletion but, before
that, confirmation will be requested by means of the message “Are you sure?”. Press F5 to exit
without deleting.
DEFRAG: When you perform several deletions, the memory space is not freed completely.
Therefore, you might be “short” of memory even if your sequence is a short one. Press F9
(DEFRAG) to “format” the memory and free the spaces lost through deletion.
FUNCTION: When FUNCTION is selected by pressing the F4 button, new functions of the
sequencer become operational such as OPTIONS, MIDI FILTER, MASTER TRACK LOAD/SAVE,
DEMIX, MIXDOWN, VELOCITY, TRANSPOSER.
OPTIONS: Access this menu by pressing the F2 button after you have entered the FUNCTION
mode by pressing F2. Press the F5 button (Escape) to exit the menu.
METRONOME: Press F1 to switch the metronome
On/Off during recording.
MODE RECORD: Press F1 to select the two recor-
ding modes Overdub and Replace (see RECORD).
RECORD PRECOUNT: By repeatedly pressing F3
you may select the bars that will pass between the
moment the recording is launched and the moment it
actually starts. You can choose from 0 to 5 precount
bars. The precount is shown on the POSITION box
with a negative sign (-). The precount is interrupted
when the first event arrives. When in the SYNCSTART mode, it is automatically switched off
since it is not necessary.
CHASE EVENTS: When this function is On (F4 button), regardless of the position from which
the sequence starts, the CONTROL CHANGE and the PROGRAM CHANGE of the sequence are
transmitted in any case, even when recorded in previous positions. If, for example, the starting
point of a sequence is set at number 20 and the controls are set at bar 1, the sequencer will
immediately send all the controls that are present from the beginning of the sequence up to bar
20. This functions allows the notes to play in the set manner, regardless of the starting point of
the sequence.
RESET STOP: If this function is On (F6 button), at every stop the suspended notes are deleted
and the pitch bend is reset.
STEP TRACE: If this function is On(F8 button), you can use the Cursor<> buttons to move
around the EDIT menu and play back the recorded notes while scrolling them. This function is
useful to trace parts of the sequence.
TRACK NAME: Use the Cursor<> buttons to scroll through the names of the tracks shown in
the middle of the display. Press the F7 button if you want to change the name of a track with a
selected number. This way you will access the usual name editing window. The procedure to edit
a new name is the same as the one already described in the NAME paragraph. Press F10
(Execute) to save, press F5 (Escape) to exit.
MIDI FILTER: Before describing in detail the various menu functions, here is some information
about the musical parts and the channels on which such parts play. The sequencer is capable of
managing up to 16 musical parts for each track. Every part is associated with a midi channel. If a
sequence is recorded using the styles of the musical instrument, the instrument parts will be
